    What Would This Look Like If It Were Easy?

    Ah, to walk through life with EASE.  No more difficulties, frustrations, hard effort. Sweating (yuck). So much energy expended. Like climbing a steep mountain side.  How many of you feel like whatever you’re doing in life right now is like that? OK. Here’s a challenge (from Tim Ferris on the Huberman Lab podcast!). What would…

    What Do You Do With Information?

    Information surrounds us these days. With our devices, it’s available at our fingertips. We can look up every possible thing we need to know, any time. But yet is it helping you in any way? Many clients show up asking for information. Some ask for experiences. Some ask for knowledge, at least from my viewpoint.…

  • What’s Your Gut Say About That?

    What’s Your Gut Say About That?

    Got gut? Yep we all do! But it’s more than just something you digest food with. Every week I have clients who show up disconnected from their guts. And no I don’t mean they can’t figure out where to shovel their food. Their internal processing completely discounts any messages from their other brain – THEIR…

    What If You Suffer From the Other A.D.D.?

    These days, I meet a lot of people who tell me they have ADD or ADHD. Yeah, the one that has to do with attention. However, what about the other ADD? Awe Deficiency Disorder.* Yep. The lack of AWE in your life. What happens without AWE in your life? According to the Greater Good, you’d…

  • What Are You Doing Today That Gives You Energy Instead of Sucking It Away?

    What Are You Doing Today That Gives You Energy Instead of Sucking It Away?

    Great question! Can you think of even one thing? Anything? Or how about comparing giving energy versus sucking energy activities. Do your energy giving activities outweigh the energy sucking ones or is it the other way around? I was just listening to the Huberman Lab podcast with Tim Ferris. So many provocative questions that Tim…

    Have You Experienced the Power of Your Voice in Healing?

    Have you truly experienced what your voice can do for you? What vocalizing with words effects inside you.Intent. Release. Transform. and More. For example, when I invite clients to try negative to positive journaling, it is one level to stay with the written word. They brain dump. Then, picking out the negative self talk, they…

    Do You Suck as a Manager?

    Are you a terrible manager? Yes, it could be true.  Maybe you know it already. Maybe you won’t admit it. Maybe you’re ignoring all the anxiety and fears daily about your performance. Maybe you’re wondering when you’ll be found out as a fraud. Following on my previous post about having a manager that sucks, are…

    My Manager Sucks

    Does your manager suck?  Do they not support you?  Gaslight you? Lie to you? Make your life miserable? Never help advance you? Always take the side of others who have problems with you? So many clients I’ve met have this common problem in the workplace.  When you look on the internet, you’ll find it’s one…

    I often talk about pausing before speaking as a way to stop the fast words that come tumbling out of our mouths, which are usually not what we wanted to say or have undesirable effects. So instead of racing to get in some word, any word just so you can say something and saying the…

    Ever have an opportunity show up in your life?  It could be anything. Something you asked for, something that just came. A chance meeting with someone. An email. A phone message.
